Christopher Smith described the method with the custom line tool. But there's another way, by making the text into a "custom arrowhead", which permits 360° rotation: - Use the Expression tool and go through the usual steps to get to the Shape Designer. - Draw a line, then select it. - Choo

Dear Finale-colleagues, at this moment I have two questions: 1.) Is it possible to close a group barline only at the END of each system? I've looked in the Help, and the only way I found was to insert a "false" barline, which means I have to draw lines on all 180 pages (that makes. how many sy
